Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday presented a supplementary budget of Rs 17,440 crore for the current financial year 2025-26 in the Assembly to fund flagship development, welfare and infrastructure projects.

While the annual budget for 2025-26 is pegged at Rs 2.90 lakh crore, the supplementary outlay aims to meet the “needs and expectations of a welfare state” by supporting critical projects, accommodating changes in central funding patterns, and recouping advances from the Odisha Contingency Fund.

“To meet with the needs and aspirations of the people in a Welfare State, the Supplementary Budget is aimed at fulfilling the requirement of funds for public welfare and developmental activities in the state mainly through re-allocation of available resources and receipt of tied-up resources from various sources,” said Majgi while tabling the Supplementary Budget proposal.

The supplementary provision of Rs 13,716 crore under Programme Expenditure is to be financed by tied-up resources to the extent of Rs.1232 crore and the differential amount would be met through savings and year-end surrender of funds.

The allocations include Rs 116 crore for operation and maintenance of rural pipe water supply projects, Rs 1406 crore for debt servicing, Rs 205 crore for maintenance of government residential buildings, Rs 250 crore for maintenance of roads and bridges.
